Completely cured my anxiety, but now I have another problem!!
NONE of these meds worked for me... the depression, anxiety, and worst of all-panic attacks continued. Eventually, desperate, I began scouring the web for answers and I eventually came across this site .. http://www.anxiety.pcti-system.com .. which is this program to cure anxiety/panic attacks for good all naturally.. To make a long story short, it worked incredibly for me.. my anxiety is gone, depression as well almost all but gone, and I haven't had a panic attack in over a month. I do though from time to time still feel sorrow over my brother. However, this is my problem: I'm still taking my xanax because I'm completely ADDICTED.. when I try to stop taking it I start going through incredible withdrawls mentally and physically... If I would have known of this addiction problem I would have never allowed my doctor to put me on them. Has anyone else suffered from benzo addiction and if so, know how to safely get off it with minimal side effects?? Please any advice/comments/suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!
P.s- For those of you on SSRI antidepressants, I would really recommend taking a look at this site: http://ssristories.com/ .. From what I can tell looking in hindsight, these are potentially very unhealthy dangerous drugs.

Hey Jacky.. I'm sorry to hear about your brother. Congradulations on overcoming your anxiety and panic attacks... It's always good to hear positive stories from people. I also for the most part am over my anxiety.. coincidently as a result of the same program from the very site that you mentioned. It has worked very well for me as well... As far as your addiction problem, I'm not sure but I would say the way to do it would be to probably slowly ween off of it just like you would with any other drug.. Have you told your doctor about this problem???

Xanax withdrawal should really be done under a doctor's supervision. Withdrawal symptoms are common. If you are having a hard time getting off of it, then sometimes other things can be done (such as cognitive therapy or other drugs.)
It is even possible to have fatalities upon withdrawal. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19465812
This is a report from the well respected Cochrane Group on withdrawal. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/16856084

Leaf is right. Xanax withdrawal can be dangerous. Please withdraw under the direction of a Doctor!

My husband went through severe withdrawal symptoms and his doctor had to prescribe Gabapentin(sp?) This drug acted as a 'go between' between Xanax and no xanax. It probably saved his life or at least his sanity. I hope you've been to see a doctor and are doing better! Hugs
